little drummer boy page 1 by ric gustafson
Eli Hall stood near a group of soldiers who were playing cards. " I want to join a regiment".
" Why do you want to do that for boy?".
" I want to be a drummer boy".
" How old are you?" asked one of the soldiers.
" Old enough" he replied as he noticed an officer approaching. " What's going on here?".
" This boy wants to join as a drummer".
The officer stared at Eli. " How old are you son?".
" Old enough to be a drummer Sir".
" The regiment is short a drummer boy" he said with a sad look on his face. " Come with me and we'll talk to the enrolling officer".
